Jackson Hole

Jackson Hole features an extensive network of paved, car-free multi-use pathways connecting the town directly into Grand Teton National Park. The valley floor offers predominantly flat to gently rolling terrain, while surrounding mountain passes feature steeper climbs for mountain bikers and road cyclists.

The primary cycling season runs from late May through early October when pathways are clear of snow. Summer offers long daylight hours and warm weather, while September provides cooler temperatures and colorful fall foliage.

Most tours take advantage of regional pathways to showcase views of the Grand Teton mountain range and the National Elk Refuge. Depending on the route length, itineraries often include Jackson Town Square, the Snake River, or Jenny Lake.

E-bikes provide pedal assistance that helps riders easily overcome elevation changes and headwinds common in open mountain valleys. Traditional bikes remain a great choice for riders wanting a workout along the paved, low-grade valley paths.

Yes, Jackson Hole has designated paved pathways separated from motorized traffic that are very approachable for children and beginners. Flat routes around town and into the southern section of the national park offer stress-free riding with mountain vistas.
